In yet another humiliating blow to Cringe California Governor Gavin Newsom, his foul-mouthed communications team has been caught red-handed telling a respected journalist to “f**k off” when pressed for any shred of evidence proving his so-called “lifelong dyslexia” diagnosis.
RealClearPolitics national correspondent Susan Crabtree, a California resident, revealed on X that when she asked the governor’s office for documentation related to Newsom’s claimed dyslexia diagnosis, she received a vulgar response from his communications director.
Crabtree posted on X:
“What about that @GavinNewsom dyslexia diagnosis — can the gov. provide any paperwork related to his dyslexia diagnosis at any time of his life? Newsom’s comms team just now tells me to ‘fuck off.’”
According to Crabtree, she emailed Newsom’s Director of Communications, Izzy Gardon, with a series of straightforward questions.
She acknowledged that learning disabilities are sensitive matters but noted that Newsom himself had invoked dyslexia publicly to defend controversial remarks made during his Atlanta book tour stop.
Crabtree asked whether the governor could provide documentation to substantiate his claim that he was diagnosed with dyslexia as a child, reportedly in 1972 when he was five or six years old. Newsom has previously stated that he rediscovered paperwork confirming the diagnosis after his father’s death in 2018.
If that documentation exists, Crabtree asked, why not provide it?
She also inquired whether, if childhood records were unavailable, any more recent medical confirmation could be shared to counter critics questioning the claim.
Crabtree asked Gardon:
Hi there,
I know any type of learning disability is very sensitive. But I also see that Gov.
Newsom and his press team have been using the diagnosis to hit back at Sean Hannity and other critics in the wake of Newsom’s comments over the weekend that he had his 960 so “I’m like you,” which he said t to a black moderator.
Gov. Newsom has claimed that he found the paperwork from his childhood about his dyslexia after his father died in 2018. If that’s the case, does he have
it so he can demonstrate that he was in 2018. If that’s the case, does he have it so he can demonstrate that he was given a dyslexia diagnosis early on in his childhood?
Newsom also has said he was diagnosed with dyslexia in 1972 -that would be when he was five or six. Is there anything the governor can point to as proof of this?
If the early paperwork is not available, is there any evidence of a more recent dyslexia diagnosis he can provide?
I have a deadline of tomorrow, Tuesday, at 5 p.m., but any information you provide, I can distribute it immediately on X to combat critics who are doubting the diagnosis.

The response from Newsom’s California taxpayer-funded spokesperson to a California resident and a journalist was nothing short of unhinged:
“Hey, Susan – thanks for reaching out. Respectfully, fuck off. — Izzy”

No class, no transparency, just pure Democrat arrogance.
Critics online immediately blasted the dismissive, profanity-laced response from Newsom’s Director of Communications, Izzy Gardon.
My God it’s even worse than we thought. https://t.co/E2ntAQDJab

Susan asked questions about claims the governor made. That isn’t trolling. It’s reporting. But while we are on the topic, is it acceptable for a male politician’s staff to tell a female journalist to “fuck off”? I know of a recent Democratic president who would say no. https://t.co/ILU06D2iMq

There are rules for such inappropriate behavior for state employees.
Does this extend to the @GovPressOffice as well?
Or is it rules for thee but not for me? pic.twitter.com/Sco97nKJEw
